i train alone 100% of the time too. i've trained with my cousin for a few days when he came over - and have to say it's so good to train with someone who is also so into calisthenics - just to push you further and to talk to.

I also train alone cause I don't know anybody else who trains this way. I've had a couple of friends try but they aren't consistent enough to make gains. Most people think they could never do planche pushups or handstand pushups. The difference is I know I will do them one day. Also a new gym opened up near where I live and they got a set up for calisthenics that looks exactly like one of these parks that you see in new york with 2 30 foot ropes to climb! This is great cause we got no parks where I live.

Alone.

I'm not surprised that majority train alone. You don't find many people who train bodyweight anyway; I knew of only two people in the last twelve years. One guy did handstand pushups on 8 foot tall parallel bars, as well as run the track, and my friend did the track plus pullups and pushups. Back then, I did pullups at my house. I find training partners are unnecessary to me. I know what I want to do before I train, so it doesn't really matter.

yep its normal that most ppl train alone, many works in their houses (including me) and even if u got someone who trains with bodyweight u maybe dont got same schedule (i mean freetime) so u maybe not be able to workout together all the time.

Jess i think if u have someone (better to be a good friend) to train with its by far better to workout with, as u pull each other to train harder and its more pleasure. Maybe sometimes u just want to workout alone but i think its good to workout with others once in a while.

i mostly train alone, but have few friends that do some training with me when they can

its easier to train with someone, but training alone has its moments! many times i didnt feel like it, pushed my a$$ into it and after workout i was even more satisfied that i did it ... its like training discipline at the same time.

all alone for me. I think im to disciplined for most of my mates, well when training anyway lol

i know what you mean, some of my mates train with weights.....even though i train bodyweight, i'm too disciplined for them, they'll do 6 weeks on the trot then not train for a few weeks coz they couldn't be bothered.

one of my mates got pretty big in college, then when he went to uni, started to drink and hasn't trained for 3 years now....just makes me think what a waste of years of hard work!
